The study of mir-146b expression level in normal thyroid and thyroidectomy patients

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of diverse human cancers, including PTC. Specific circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in each organ may contribute to the diagnosis and prognosis in some cancers. miRNA from papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) may be released into the bloodstream. This study was performed to detect miRNAs in the plasma and estimate their diagnostic usefulness for discriminating between benign and malignant lesions.
